18.08.2008 Infiniti G37 Convertible

Nissan has announced that the Infiniti G37 Convertible will arrive in the first quarter of next year as a 2009 model following a world debut at November’s Los Angeles Auto Show. Based on the current G37 Coupe, the convertible will feature a three-piece automatic folding hardtop and several unique interior appointments. One key difference will be an updated audio system, designed to provide high-quality sound even with the top up or down.

Power will come from the same 328hp (245kW) 3.7L V6 engine used in the Coupe, giving the car more than enough oomph to take on the likes of BMW’s 335i drop-top. The convertible G37 should also get a new 7-speed automatic transmission that will eventually be available on all Infiniti G models (6-speed manuals transmissions will also available), an optional uprated brake package and newly designed 18in alloys. While Infiniti has only designated the G37 Convertible for the U.S. market at this point in time, the car is under study for launch in Europe possibly by the end of 2009.
